Proposal No. 3: Election of One (1) Director

In order to achieve the sustainable growth of the Daito Group and improve corporate value in the medium- to long-term, in the construction business, which is the Company’s core business, the Company will need to strengthen its construction system and steadily secure net sales and profits of completed construction contracts with an eye to the future increase in the construction volume of the Daito Group, the increase in construction work related to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games and the manpower shortage in the construction industry. Therefore, the role of the construction divisions is important. Because a Director who was in charge of the construction divisions retired from the office of Director, due to the expiration of the term, at the close of the 43rd Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 28, 2017, we need to appoint his successor to reinforce the management/supervision framework of the construction divisions. For this reason, the Company proposes that shareholders elect one (1) Director to be in charge of the construction business.

If the candidate of this proposal is elected as originally proposed, seven (7) of the sixteen (16) members of the Board of Directors will qualify as independent outside officers (three (3) Outside Directors and four (4) Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members) who have satisfied the independence criteria established by the Company. Because independent outside officers account for 43.7% of the total attendees of the Board of Directors, it will enable discussions at the Board of Directors based on opinions expressed from an independent and neutral perspective.

The respective name, career summary, etc., of the candidate for Director is as follows.

(Note) 1. There is no special interest between the candidate for Director and the Company.

Department (current position)

<Reason for nomination as candidate for Director> Mr. Nakagami has long been involved in the construction divisions of the construction business, which is the core business of the Daito Group. While having engaged in efforts including the building of a construction system responding to the tight supply of construction workers and the increased work volume of the Daito Group, the reduction of work costs and ensuring safety at the construction sites and reforming of construction organizations and developing engineers to ensure technological capabilities and construction quality for the highest level in the industry, he has contributed to strengthening said divisions of the Group. The construction divisions that Mr. Nakagami has long been involved with are central to the Daito Group’s construction business, which is the core business of the Daito Group. He, therefore, has been nominated as a candidate for Director based on the judgment that he possesses extensive experience and knowledge on the construction divisions, and will be best suited to reinforce the management/supervision framework of the construction divisions of the Daito Group.

<Candidate’s message to shareholders> While the increasing demand for construction work related not only to disaster restoration from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Kumamoto Earthquake, but also to the Tokyo Olympic Games and the decrease in the number of construction workers continues, in addition to intensifying competition in the rental housing market, it is an important issue for the Daito Group to enhance construction efficiency and quality through strengthening of the construction system and the reduction of work costs, as well as the development and promotion of new construction methods and technologies to ensure the future performance of the construction business. Under such circumstances, we will establish a construction system with an eye to the future increase in the construction volume of the Daito Group and the industry’s trend, with efforts to execute organizational reform and personnel development in the construction divisions in pursuit of construction efficiency and the highest level of technological capabilities in the industry. I will make efforts to contribute to the securement of corporate performance and sustainable growth and the enhancement of the corporate value of the Daito Group.

(Appendix) Business Report (From April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018) 1. Current State of Enterprise Group

(1) Business Progress and Results

(i) Overview of Business Environment

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, improvement in corporate performance and employment situations continued and the Japanese economy recovered at a moderate pace. The outlook for the future, however, continued to be uncertain, given the increasing uncertainties of the overseas economy due to the policies of Europe and the United States and the rise of geopolitical risks.

In the housing industry, housing starts in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 decreased for the 9th consecutive month from the same month of the previous year since July 2017, and on a cumulative basis decreased from the previous fiscal year by 2.8% to 946,000. (*)

In the field of rental housing on which the Daito Group is focused, housing starts of rental residential properties in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 decreased for the 10th consecutive month from the same month of the previous year since June 2017, and on a cumulative basis decreased from the previous fiscal year by 4.0% to 410,000. (*) Going forward, the rental housing market is likely to change from the temporary upturn to steady growth for optimization.

Meanwhile, demand for rental houses with high convenience, safety and comfort will continue to be steady. Companies offering rental houses are expected to acquire expertise about the management of sound rental buildings in accordance with tenants’ demands and provide environmentally-friendly rental houses such as ZEH (Net-Zero Energy House) in response to the diversifying needs of tenants.

Under such circumstances, the Daito Group has positioned the Company, Daito Kentaku Partners Co., Ltd. and Daito Kentaku Leasing Co., Ltd. as the three core companies of the Group, and operates businesses under a new Group framework, starting from May 2017. Centering on these three core companies, the Daito Group intends to divide operations and increase their efficiency, as well as enhance the specialization of each business area to offer the greatest satisfaction to customers, with the aim to become a corporate group that is truly trusted by customers and other stakeholders.

(ii) Overview of Daito Group

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Daito Group posted increased sales and profits on a consolidated basis for the tenth consecutive year, having recorded net sales in the amount of 1,557,017 million yen (up 4.0% year-on-year), and posted an operating income of 126,369 million yen (up 5.2% year-on-year), ordinary income of 131,533 million yen (up 5.6% year-on-year), and current term profit attributable to owners of the parent of 87,829 million yen (up 6.9% year-on-year). These sales and income amounts are all historic highs for the Daito Group.

(iii) Progress and Results by Segment

■ Construction Business

In the construction business, net sales of completed construction contracts increased 0.6% year-on-year to 627,631 million yen, as a result of the successful development of the ample number of orders in hand. The gross profit margin for completed projects dropped 0.2 points from the previous fiscal year to 31.5% due to the rise of labor costs with the effects of construction work related to the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games and the tight supply in the labor market, among others.

Orders received decreased 0.6% year-on-year to 651,077 million yen and construction orders in hand as of March 31, 2018 decreased 0.1% year-on-year to 895,343 million yen.

■ Real Estate Business

In the real estate business, an increase in whole-building lease agreements under our Lease Management Trust System allowed our leasing company, Daito Kentaku Partners Co., Ltd. to increase its rental income, while House Leave Co., Ltd., which offers joint guarantor-free services, increased its revenues, resulting in a 5.7% rise in net sales of the real estate business year-on-year to 871,388 million yen.

In terms of tenant recruiting activities, we attracted the attention of customers looking for apartments and raised the Company’s profile by airing new TV commercials of the lease brokerage brand, “e-Heya Net” and by focusing on our annual promotions. As a result of such efforts, the number of tenancy agreements concluded of the three core companies of the Group (*), rose 5.2% year-on-year to 296,018. Consequently, the occupancy rate of our leased residential properties as of March 31, 2018 increased 0.3 points year-on-year to 97.2%, while the occupancy rate of our leased commercial properties rose 0.1 points year-on-year to 98.4%.

(※) Three core companies: the Company, Daito Kentaku Partners Co., Ltd. and Daito Kentaku Leasing Co., Ltd.

■ Other Business (Financial Business and Other Business)

Total of net sales of other business increased 19.5% year-on-year to 57,997 million yen. This was attributable to, among others, the increase in sales in other business stemming from the increase in the number of properties supplied with LP gas from the Gaspal Group, starting with Gaspal Co., Ltd., the increase in the number of customers using daytime care service facilities targeted at the elderly provided by Care Partner Co., Ltd. and the increase in the number of policy holders of HOUSEGUARD SSI, a small-amount, short-term insurance provider offering coverage of rent and household effects for tenants of leased building.

(2) Business Strategies

The rental housing market is shifting from the temporary upturn owing to the inheritance tax reform in January, 2015 to steady growth for optimization. The need for effective land utilization remains high among aging landowners, stemming from their requirements for asset succession and tax saving measures, and is expected to remain steady. Consequently, the Daito Group will need to reinforce its one-stop services for asset succession, in order for landowners to realize “amicable and smooth asset succession to the next generation.”

Meanwhile, given the increasing number of single-person households as a result of the declining birthrate and aging population coupled with the increasing tendency to marry late, together with the change in attitudes toward homes reflecting the diversification of lifestyles. The tenants are thus expressing increasingly diverse needs, as they become more discerning in their choice of housing. The Daito Group will be required to improve and expand services that will provide safety, comfort and enrichment to the tenants’ lives, as well as offer them attractive buildings and residences.

Although the tight supply of construction workers, which was seen after the occurrence of the Great East Japan Earthquake, has become more stable, supply and demand for construction workers remain uncertain because of the increase in construction work related to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games and the decrease in the number of construction workers. The Daito Group will need to keep its focus on securing appropriate completed construction profits and ensuring the strengthening and quality of construction structures.

In such a market environment, the Daito Group has developed a 5-year medium-term business plan, which will conclude in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. We revised this plan to reflect the business results of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Outline of the medium-term business plan and measures for the achievement of the plan by segment are as follows:

(i) Outline of the medium-term business plan

Under the new brand message, “Life is Built on Trust” we have designated “the nursing care and childcare business,” “the energy business” and “the overseas business” as the “new core businesses” and intend to expand the Daito Group’s business domains, in addition to the construction business and the real estate business, which are our core businesses, focusing on the Lease Management Trust System, with the aim to become a company entrusted by its customers in various ways.

The Daito Group aims to achieve net sales of 1,791.0 billion yen, operating income of 138.0 billion yen, net income (*1) of 97.0 billion yen, and ROE (return on equity) of 30.0% and secure a 17.5% plus share in rental housing construction starts (assuming that the size of the rental housing market will be 390,000 units) in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 as medium-term business targets.

(ii) Segment strategies

■Construction Business

In the construction business, we will reinforce the sales force up to 3,500 sales staff (3,313 as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018), and allocate management resources including the opening of stores by taking into account the market’s potential for growth based on the market scale and long-term demand for rental housing that reflect market research using a nationwide segmentation into approximately 4,600 marketing areas. In addition, we will focus our efforts on consulting sales on an ongoing basis from the perspective of “effective asset utilization/asset succession,” while strengthening product appeal to satisfy the needs of the Tokyo metropolitan area and other large cities, as well as tenants and female customers.

In anticipation of a future increase in domestic construction demand due to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games, among others, the Daito Group will strengthen the alliance with collaborating companies, in order to restrain construction cost, secure labor force, and enhance construction capability.

By implementing the measures mentioned above, the Daito Group aims to achieve orders received of 701.0 billion yen, net sales of completed construction contracts of 703.0 billion yen, and gross profit margin for completed projects of 30.4% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

■Real Estate Business

In the real estate business, we will provide services in line with the diversifying needs of tenants, including the increasing population of senior citizens, foreign customers and those who wish to live with their pets.

We will also continue to promote initiatives to gain more widespread recognition of and expand our fan base of the lease brokerage brand, “e-Heya Net,” by sponsoring the LPGA tour “Daito Kentaku e-Heya Net Ladies” (with official permission by the Ladies Professional Golfers’ Association of Japan) and continuously carrying out sales promotion campaigns, among others.

By implementing the measures mentioned above, the Daito Group aims to achieve net sales on real estate business of 1,022.7 billion yen, the number of tenancy agreements concluded of 323,000, and the occupancy rate of leased residential units of 97.0% (March 2021) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

■Other Business (Financial Business and Other Business)

In other businesses, we will expand businesses that are expected to have high synergistic effects with our core businesses, by such means as expanding the insurance business intended for landowners and tenants through HOUSEGUARD SSI, in addition to increasing the number of homes supplied by LP gas by the Gaspal Group, starting with Gaspal Co., Ltd., and expand daycare service centers and the childcare business of Care Partner Co., Ltd.

By implementing the measures mentioned above, the Daito Group aims to achieve net sales of 65.3 billion yen in the other business for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

We look forward to the continued support and guidance of all our shareholders.

Both types of remunerations shall not be more than an amount, which has been approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Basic remuneration (fixed remuneration)

Bonuses shall not exceed 1.0 billion yen, and not payable if consolidated net income (Profit attributable to owners of the parent) for the fiscal year under review falls short of 20.0 billion yen.

There are two types of stock options as stock-linked compensation, namely, A Plan, which aims to improve performance of the Company during the term of office of Director, and B Plan which aims to improve the medium-term performance of the Company. In terms of the B Plan, separate performance achievement criteria have been established.

The amount of remuneration related to stock options as stock-linked compensation granted to each Director shall be no more than 530 million yen per year, and the individual amounts shall be determined in consideration of the achievement and contribution of each Director during the fiscal year under review.
